The very thought of even attempting to watch The Reader makes me gag.

Did we watch the same movie? There's nothing ambiguous about this one, it couldn't be more in your face sentimental than it is. I think you're the first person I know who wasn't moved by it. It almost had me in tears near the end. Plus the soundtrack is really great and helps to set up the nostalgic mood. There's really nothing bad I can say about it. :\
I finally broke my Von Trier cherry...
Pretty good stuff. Very atmospheric. The editing is insanely original. 8/10
